Thoughts about Wayward Sisters and the dumbing down of the Winchesters...

[quickreaver]

I wanted to dig into some Show meta stuff, and against my better judgment, created a tumblr for this purpose. Of course, I was immediately confronted with fandom friction, and it propelled me to ruminate upon how Sam and Dean were dumbed down in the WS "pilot". Read if you wish!

Interestingly, the person who led the charge against what you said about dumbing Sam and Dean down has actually backtracked a little into a more reasonable stance and actually apologised for some of the extreme language she used.

The thing is, they said look at the FACTS about Claire then completely ignored all the canon in favour of speculation - i.e. the fact that Claire has been shown to be a (sometimes dangerously) inexperienced hunter. She nearly killed some poor bloke for snogging his girlfriend, thinking he's a werewolf for gawd's sake. And comparing Claire with young Sam is irrelevant.

LANGUAGE AND FACTS MATTER. And this was sorta the thing I was trying to hammer home with her. "Bibro", if one is going to use fandom colloquialisms, needs to be used accurately. The facts of canon, the ones that aren't loosey-goosey and open to interpretation, need to be used accurately. In fact, I think it's fair to cook up a term for people who watch the show for every character BUT Sam and Dean: NoBros. >:-)

And to the NoBros we say - what the hell are you doing here then?

LOL, hate watching? (Honestly, the same as the rest of us ... hanging on by our fingernails. Maybe they'll all leave and wallow in Wayward, leaving us to the end of our series in peace.)

I live in hope.
